A Son Looking for his Missing Father
Finds Him and learns about the Faction's Plot to Stage a terrorist action

The character, Byers is surprised
by his father when he goes through his house trying to find clues about
his disappearance. When Byers confronts his father with his suspicions that
Scenario 12-D is connected to his disappearance he learns of an impending
staged terrorist action: the bombing of a domestic airliner.

An unscheduled stop at the corner of
Liberty and Washington...

Boarding the plane expecting to
find a bomb, they learn that the plane is the bomb, and is being flown by
remote control. Hacking into the plane's navigational computer, Langley
and Frohike learn its true destination.

Flying by wireless

Byers' father breaks into the
cockpit and turns off the autopilot to convince the pilot that he is not
in control of the plane. Back in Tacoma Park Langly struggles to decrypt
the control signal but "my CPU's are pegged!"

Final Approach

The plane is closing rapidly on the
WTC North Tower. The pilots struggle vainly to override the remote control
signal, while Langly struggles to decrypt it. Frohike has gone to plead
with Yves, who has the "Octium" chip stolen at the opening of
the episode. After he threatens to divulge her true identity (her full name
is an anagram of "Lee Harvey Oswald", though it is never clear
what this implies) she agrees to patch in with her superchip and help them
decrypt the signal. Somehow magically joining forces with Langley in the
few seconds remaining (Maryland must have really good DSL connections) remote
control is defeated in a predictable but nicely-done CGI near miss. (Lone

Lone Gunmen/X-Files actor, Dean Haglund,
who played the role of Richard 'Ringo' Langly in both series appeared on the

Jones and Haglund talked about the
Lone Gunmen episode that aired prior to September 11th in which an inside
faction of the government posing as terrorists hijacks a 727 by remote control
and targets the World Trade Center.

Haglund stated that after years of
writing the X-files, the FBI and NASA would approach Chris Carter with plots
for stories.
